The media is not scarce when addressing the “injustices” illegal immigrants are facing by the Trump administration.
Emphasis is failed to be mentioned on the fact that these individuals are breaking laws established in this nation, well before Trump took office.
Sanctuary states have been impeding Immigration and Custom Enforcement Officers in their attempts to detain illegal immigrants, many of which have criminal records, leaving violent offenders to strike at any moment.
This realization became all too apparent in Los Angeles last Wednesday when Alejandro Alvarez Villegas, 32, an illegal immigrant, violently attacked his wife with a chainsaw.
The Daily Wire reported:
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say that a criminal illegal alien who had been deported 11 times from the United States attacked his wife with a chainsaw in front of their children.”
Around 3pm. Wednesday, the Whittier Police were called to the home of Alvarez Villegas for a suspected attempted murder, stemming from a domestic dispute, according to the LA Times.
In a public statement, upon arrival they found Alvarez’s wife “suffering from traumatic physical injuries, believed to have been inflicted by a chainsaw.”
In a terrifying discovery, the couples 3 young children, ages 5, 8, and 10, were in the home witnessing the whole gruesome attack, according to The Daily Wire.
All three children were placed in protective custody after their mother was rushed to the hospital.
It is our hope that these children will get the help and support they need to heal from the tragedy they witnessed.
Alvarez’s wife was taken to “a local trauma center where she underwent surgery”, Officer John Scoggins of the Whittier police stated, where she is is “currently recovering and expected to survive.”
As for the attempted murderer, he was finally arrested the following day, after fleeing the scene when the police arrived at the bloody home.
The suspect was driving a stolen SUV when he was spotted in San Diego, according to NBC San Diego.
When law enforcement officials tried to pull Alvarez over, he attempted to ram the police vehicles, according to the LA Times, but detectives were able to control the situation and arrest him.
Alvarez was taken to Whittier jail, reports the LA Times, where he is on “suspicion” of attempted murder, child endangerment, hit and run, and grand theft auto.
These charges are in addition to his withstanding charges for re-entering the country an eleventh time illegally, all beginning in 2005.
It was reported by the LA Times that court records indicate Alvarez has had previous charges in the United States to include “possession of a controlled substance”, and “driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.”
This non-compliant fugitive in our country has progressively been more dangerous, and will more than likely not stop his violent and reckless behavior.
It is apparent that Alvarez has no interest in becoming a law-abiding citizen and should have never been in a position to harm his family.
Local authorities were asked by ICE officers to let them know when Alvarez is going to be released so that they can take him into custody, according to ICE spokeswoman Lori Haley.
Coming back into the United States after having been previously deported is a felony in and of itself, with a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison.
History has not fared this agreement well though, with Los Angeles law enforcement agencies being notorious for not cooperating with ICE officials.
In February of this year, ICE went to law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles to seek cooperation in finding out which illegal immigrants were a danger to the general public.
The response they got was sickening, yet unsurprising.
Los Angeles refused to assist, forcing ICE agents to do widespread sweeps that put “officers, the general public, and the aliens at greater risk”, all while “increasing the incidence of collateral arrests” ICE spokeswoman Sarah Rodriguez said.
California’s stubborn and dangerous position on ignoring immigration laws have put many Americans at risk for becoming unnecessary victims, while many more have already had to suffer at the hand of those who should have never been given sanctuary.
The Center For Immigration Studies reported:
“Commission shows that of those convicted of federal crimes between 2011 and 2016, 44.2 percent were not U.S. citizens… In comparison, non-citizens are 8.4 percent of the adult population. Of this 8.4 percent, about 4 percent are illegal immigrants and about 4 percent are legal immigrants.”
These are not comforting statistics, and should not be ignored by legislators supporting the defense of illegal immigrants.
Mainstream media wants you to think that crimes like Alvarez’s are an anomaly, but they aren’t.
Family members all over the nation are experiencing tragedy by the hands of illegal immigrants, while states like California want to keep them hidden from Immigration officials.
Please let us know in the comments section what you think of sanctuary laws, and if law enforcement officials will cooperate with ICE.
